For A, 120 cm = (120 ÷ 100) m
=4×5 7 min16 s − 213 s
= 1.2 m
∴ The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and = (7 × 60 + 16) s − 213 s
For B, since 0.25 km = (0.25 × 1000) m
20. = 436 s − 213 s
= 250 m
28 = 1 × 28 = 223 s
∴ 3.25 km = 3 km 250 m
= 2 × 14 = 3 min 43 s
For C, 0.301 m = (0.301 × 100) cm =4×7

For B, 1.1 h = (1.1 × 60) min ∴ The H.C.F. of 20, 28 and 44 are 4. ∴ There are 9.5 − 6 = 3.5 parts between
= 66 min the hour hand and the minute hand.
